Ballad Of Casy Deiss - Shawn Phillips[00:00:00]

Twas a man of youthful features[00:00:24]

Twas a boy of sorrowful eyes[00:00:29]

Watching out but looking inward[00:00:35]

Tall and stately and full of life[00:00:40]

In his life he spoke but rarely[00:00:57]

In his mind he cried for light[00:01:02]

Painting perceptions trying to capture[00:01:08]

That which he saw in his questioning strife[00:01:13]

Once in lisbon twice in London[00:01:30]

Travelling around for all of his time[00:01:35]

Looking for and finding a goddess[00:01:41]

He took diana to be his wife[00:01:46]

Of the children they'd begotten[00:02:02]

Two had died without knowing life[00:02:08]

And the third I know not whereof[00:02:13]

But if she lives she will yet be kind[00:02:18]

Casey had a mark of simple value[00:02:34]

He had a star between his eyes[00:02:40]

In his hands he held an axe blade[00:02:45]

The greek symbol of thunder and fire[00:02:51]

On a night when the heavens were crying[00:03:07]

He went down and took his blade[00:03:13]

Chopping wood to warm his hearthside[00:03:18]

The lightning came and my brother die[00:03:23]

Bring him no wine from faraway vineyards[00:03:50]

Tell him no tales of the canyon's might[00:03:56]

But wish him peace and eternal wisdom[00:04:01]

For he has died and he died in light[00:04:06]
